QFX5110 Ethernet Switch
Product Description
Data centers are rapidly adopting cloud services, whether completely off-premises models
or hybrid models with critical services offered through on-premise private clouds. The
tremendous growth of off-premises cloud services, coupled with the widespread adoption
of overlay technologies, has created a need for highly agile switching platforms that can
satisfy the demands of these evolving data centers.
The high-performance Juniper Networks® QFX5110 line of Ethernet switches fit the bill,

QFX5110 ideally suited for use
in spine and leaf topologies. QFX5110 Switch Models
The QFX5110 switches are compact, 1 U platforms that provide wire-speed packet
performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Junos OS features. In addition to a high-
throughput Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE), the performance of the QFX5110 control
plane is further enhanced with a powerful 1.8 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of
memory and 64 GB SSD storage.
Two QFX5110 switch models are available:
• QFX5110-48S—A 10GbE/100GbE data center access switch, the QFX5110-48S
offers 48 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceiver ports and four QSFP28
ports that can be configured as 4x40GbE or 4x100GbE ports, with an aggregate
throughput of 1.76 Tbps or 1.32 Bpps per switch. For added flexibility, each QSFP28
port can also be configured as 4x10GbE ports using breakout cables, increasing the
total number of supported 10GbE ports to 64 per switch.
